Ice Cream Sandwiches: 65 Recipes for Incredibly Cool Treats [A Cookbook]

Donna Egan has written a wonderful and foolproof book on how to make delicious Ice Cream based delights. I have read and baked other Ice Cream Sandwich recipes, but this book is the most accurate in measurements and techniques. My skills in cooking and baking are limited by time and aptitude so any help I can get is appreciated. Believe it or not, my sandwiches now look as good as Donna's pictures, and their taste is best described as super. Good ice cream based deserts are one of my weaknesses and as a consequence I would be remiss to omit commenting on the cookie recipes. As one "goodie" connoisseur once said, they are spot on!

Good read

Nice variety of both specific and base recipes to build from. The best ice cream sandwich book I've found!

The book generated a number of ideas for great ice cream sandwiches. in the past, I would not have thought of creating such yummy concoctions. But the book has inspired me to serve them to my family and guests.

Great Flavors! tantalizing

An interesting series of variations on a theme from an acclaimed London, England bake shop, but it is still just a variation on a theme no matter how you slice and dice it.Here with this colourful book can you learn how to perfect and adapt ice cream sandwiches, a cookie or biscuit "bread" with an ice cream "filling". Something as a child I marvelled over but as an adult (!) one is less enthralled towards. This book's publicity material oozes how "somehow, combining crunchy, buttery cookies with creamy, cold ice cream makes both elements better" -- your views may vary. But whatever the outcome, your children might like them!The author realises that not everybody will have the time, patience or ability to make their own ice cream (although, no doubt, it will help unless you purchase "gourmet" ice cream) but recipes are given to make every component part should you so desire. Even an acknowledgement that you might have to buy something in is a welcome little thing, as all-to-many books tend to sneer at that as a viable option.It is proving hard to change the initial perception of this book, despite many interesting recipes, some great food photography and simple, easy-to-follow text. If you have a recipe for ice cream, a biscuit of your choice and a bit of imagination do you need anything else? If you view this book as a source of a few good "raw ingredient" recipes and then some combination tips maybe it is a different proposition. For this reviewer, at least, the book doesn't "add" anything that his bookshelf or mind doesn't already have, but one's ego is not sufficiently large to rule out it being a great resource for someone else. It is perhaps one of those books that is best examined if you perceive there could be a need for it but are unsure as to whether it is "the one" for you.The book is rounded off even with a few refreshing drinks that you can make to serve up with your sandwich creations - healthy drinks and a slightly luxurious treat for the younger members of your family (or the older folks with a sweet tooth). This is not a bad book. It is a better-than-average book if it hits the mark for you, that is not in doubt, it is just whether it is sufficiently unique and has a real raison d'être that is possibly in doubt.

I am tickled that this book is now available in America. Last year, I gave the British edition to some family members, and will continue through my list of family and friends. The pictures are beautiful and rich - and makes you feel like you are sitting down to the feast without the calories. This is the perfect hostess gift, or new neighbor gift as well. I have in the past baked a batch of cookies, wrapped up the book and in two instances, included Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Coupons. This belongs on every bookshelf in every kitchen. Can you imagine doing one of these recipes as a party with friends? Or a birthday party or special event with children? The list goes on and on.  Ice Cream Sandwiches: 65 Recipes for Incredibly Cool Treats

This is the perfect book for every kitchen! I found the book on trip to London. The recipes are delicious and the photos are helpful for even the novice to make the perfect presentation to top off summertime gatherings on the patio! I am so glad this book is finally available in the US so that I can give it away to friends when they rave about my perfect desserts!
